Judah De Paula received his PhD in computer sciences from University of Texas at Austin where he focused on cognitive science (psychology) and computational neuroscience (biology) and published a neural network model of a trichromatic (human) primary visual cortex (artificial intelligence). For two years he wrote fluid dynamics code at Enthought and was involved in the Python open-source community. Judah moved to Iowa, started a family, lost his first wife to cancer, and has worked for fifteen years at Corteva Agriscience in a variety of roles, including management. His current title is, Senior Software Architect where he partners with agronomic researchers to write new code and simultaneously keep millions of lines of legacy in-house code operational.

Studying the human mind is his true passion but computers pay better. While not at work he's taking care of his one wife, seven kids, three cats, two dogs and a mix of hamsters, fish, but never a snake. Pro tip: listening to vinyl records as a hobby drives kids out of the den faster than the plague. Current exciting-to-him topics include music, Aristotelian logic, Jungian shadows, lobsters, comparative religion, Deadpool movies, getting a rock band together, and of course whatever is on the back of the napkin that is much more interesting than what's going on with the rest of the party.
